Cause Of Death Released In Case Of Body Found At Marysville Recycling Center
MARYSVILLE (CBS13) — Authorities have now released the cause of death of the man whose body was found in a Marysville recycling center in April.
Ron Lamp's body was discovered at the Material Recovery Facility along N. Levee Road back on April 26.
The Yuba County Sheriff's Office says, based on where Lamp was found, it appeared that the body had been brought in by a cardboard-recycling truck. Exactly when the body arrived - and where it was picked up - is unclear, but investigators believe it arrived at the recycling center sometime during the previous week.
An autopsy on Lamp has found that his cause of death was "probable asphyxia due to entrapment in a recycling truck," the sheriff's office says. A toxicology report also showed that Lamp had been under the influence of a controlled substance.
Lamp was a resident of Magalia, the sheriff's office says.
